Tips for prospective students

Truly weigh out your options when picking a institution. It's not all about parties yet not all about homework(50/50). College is for a growing experience, a mere stepping stone to your bright future. Don't listen to that 12 credit hour bull. To graduate on time take at least 15 credits, get out of their in four years. Don't waste your money, know every loan you will pay back. Show up to class at least 85% of time, its beneficial towards you. No... Repeat No morning classes your first semester unless your a morning person. Parties last all night, it hard's to get up everyday. No mater what, or how shy, Get Involved in school activities. Looks good on your resume as well scholarships. Avoid developmental classes, they don't go towards your degree plan, ultimately delaying your graduation. Choose the right school the first time, each school has different requirements so your liable to lose credits. All of this comes from personally experience. I did everything wrong only, but now that I am on track I mentor to do something right. My mistakes were endless but I wasn't the party type. I was a over worked book worm who had no guidance. Experience of a lifetime......

Bang for the buck

Its not cheap......

Am enjoying being here

Somewhat.... college is what you make of it. You will find something wrong with every school you attend. Just choose the one with the least amount of problems.... Instead of transferring three times only to end up at the school you attended first.

Am learning a lot

Three stars because I am in my major core classes. One star because our basics are much of anything. Half of a star because of the extra classes the institute requires(chapel, first and second seminar, etc). If your want hands on for your major, go for it.
